Lisiane Hahn, Neotropical Consultoria Ambiental

Activities of the Neotropical Community Consulting Calama, in Madeira River -conservation of large migratory catfish from the Amazon:

The event exceeded our expectations as we are still being contacted by local schools to schedule new visits. We counted 700 students that came to CEPTA from Monday to Saturday and there are more to come!

May 24th was a special day for us. We received children from the local community and they spent the day with us. We had lunch together and after the programed activities the children had a soccer match.

We would like to thank all of you and also our co-workers and volunteers, who helped us deliver a really great week.
